Date Night....not with Kenny Chesney but it'll do :)

Last night our GREAT neighbor Michele offered to watch the boys so we could go out. Even though I am still not feeling 100% I wasn't about to pass up the opportunity! Sheila (Shawn's sister) and her husband Brad went with us. We went to Bravo for dinner, it was very nice, luckily Sheila thought to call earlier in the day for reservations so we didn't have to wait. We got a table that was right next to the lake (or pond??) it was nice. It was nice to be able to sit and have a nice conversation, with grown ups! Then we went over to the mall to see a movie, we saw Blades of Glory. It was really funny, Shawn was laughing so hard I was afraid he was going to get sick and I was hoping that I wouldn't have a coughing fit during the movie. It was absolutely packed, I don't think there was an open seat. We got home around 10, I tell ya we are wild and crazy. Michele had both the boys in bed and was folding laundry. Doesn't get much better than that. Her dryer has been broken for awhile so she's been bringing laundry over to our house occasionally. It sounded like they had a great time. I was glad to hear that since Cale has been having such an anxiety issue about me being gone lately. Although she totally spoils them, I guess since both her kids are away at college she has to get that little kid fix somewhere.
Anyways last night was also the Kenny Chesney concert here in Des Moines, which I did not go to. I just couldn't do it, I kept thinking buy the tickets but they were sooooo expensive and by the time I thought ok I'll do it the seats were crappy and I thought I would be better off to listen to his cd in my kitchen. He does put on a good show we saw him at the fair-Colby loved it. Thanks again to Michele, sometimes I'm not sure where we'd be without her.
